( Never had / seen this one on these guys before? I hear people calling this kinda stuff ‘Popcorn’ now? Sorry — Popcorn it ain’t — it’s just a solid 60s Mod / Jazz floorworker of the highest order in an immaculate Decca custom baggie…great flip too…unplayed copy… )

James Brown ‘Shout and Shimmy’ (Delta / USA / 1960s / VG) £5

( This one is kinda rough so I’ve priced it right down — plays all thru just fine but is deffo a tad noisy…. )

( Nice WDJ copy of this indemand version of the Barbara Lewis tune — right up there with the best actually — interesting cover version of the Jefferson Airplane / Grace Slick track on the flip too — nice 45….great price…. )

( Unplayed copy of what is undoubtedly one of this fine ensemble’s best / rarest releases — I’ve had ‘Pepsi’ several times but this is only the second time I’ve ever even seen one of these for sale — 2 stunning tracks — not really much to do with Reggae at this point — more Funk / Grooves here — both sides great in their different ways but the instrumental ‘The Clock’ on the topside edges it for me — MUST have been a KPM / Library cut to this at some point cos it’s got all of the hallmarks of that wonderful UK label — a stunner… )

( Still tight in it’s shrinkwrap…trust me, this is unplayed….with THE killer “Cosmic 2 Stepper” ‘Ain’t No Time Fa Nothing’ — just stunning and we also get the big NS / Disco crossover tune ‘Party Time Man’ too — immaculate piece… )

( Another unplayed LP this month — tight in it’s original shrinkwrap — definitely unplayed….I don’t believe I’ve evr actually had this LP before? Produced by Clarence ‘Starvue’ Johnson so the pedigree is RIGHT up there… )

( Yet another unplayed LP this month — the shrinkwrap is tight and immaculate — always been murder to find, this one…’Slippin’ Away’ title track is just a total winner… )

Special Delivery ‘Special Delivery’ (Shield / USA / 1978 / VG/Ex) £20

( Never had this LP before — knew about it — but never actually had it in my hands — MUST be rare? ‘This Kind Of Love’ was a pretty big spin on the Modern Soul scene back in the day — sublime midpacer and ‘Get Up — Express Yourself’ is a great Disco Funker — few scuffs to wax — slight rumble — sleeve is just ringworm / seam frayed — no splits… )

The Younghearts ‘Do You Have The Time’ (2oth Century / USA / 1972 / M-/M-) £10

( Another 100% immaculate LP this month — still tight in it’s shrinkwrap…classic title track… )
